Make no mistake – the most sweeping overhaul of the U.S. tax code in decades is going to have an effect on Canadian business. What do you need in order to help your business not only survive these reforms, but also thrive?

Join us for this seminar as KPMG Tax professionals provide an overview of the biggest changes to US tax law in over 30 years.

As President Trump’s $1.5 billion tax plan becomes reality, Canadian companies doing business in the United States and US individuals living in Canada need to explore the potential impact of US tax reform on business and tax planning. The legislation fundamentally impacts how Canadian businesses expand into the US, do business in the US and repatriate profits. The reform legislation will also impact individual taxpayers who file US returns and have investments in Canadian companies.
